There is no patch currently available for this issue from Oracle. To protect Firefox users we have enabled Click To Play for recent versions of Java on all platforms (Java 7u9, 7u10, 6u37, 6u38). Firefox users with older versions of Java are already protected by existing plugin blocking or Click To Play defenses.
The Click To Play feature ensures that the Java plugin will not load unless a user specifically clicks to enable the plugin. This protects users against drive-by exploitation, one of the most common exploit techniques used to compromise vulnerable users. Click To Play also allows users to enable the Java plugin on a per-site basis if they absolutely need the Java plugin for the site.
With OS X it's blacklisted. But then again everyone is recommending to uninstall these versions anyway. If you have critical software depending on vulnerable versions you should beat the developers over the head to fix it.
No, the other question just stated that the person had been programming longer than he had been alive. Not that he had been at the company for that entire length.
Of course, being a very smart person who has been programming since before I was born makes him fairly impervious to criticism,
There is no excuse for anyone looking at your source code to not understand it.
That's a ridiculous statement and standard. Lack of experience or knowledge of the problem domain is often a reason why people won't understand code. Now the code might genuinely be poorly-written, but just because newbie hot shot doesn't understand it doesn't mean it's bad.
The plural of anecdote is not evidence. Provide some actual evidence that more than a tiny minority of workers actually do this. I won't hold my breath.
And you can choose to not get the badge. Besides, you do realize all theme parks such as this use extensive CCTV systems to monitor the park, right? You've never really had privacy when you were in the park to begin. The whole argument is based on a flawed premise:
And why is this RFID any worse than the extensive CCTV system they already use to monitor the entire park? You aren't dumb enough to think you have privacy in a theme park, right? Outside of restrooms that is.
Yes, he is going after other anti-science people. Climate change is happening and has been verified even by studies commisioned by groups seeking to disprove it. Anyone still denying it is either an industry shill or someone with an agenda.
Which is not true for myself. I grew up in Missouri and have frequently travelled through most of the midwest as that is where most of the rest of my family lives. Also as the person above me said, Dallas and Fort Worth are not some homogenuous metro. They are pretty distinct.
Not really. It is a pretty true statement. Austin is very different to most of the rest of Texas. I say this having lived in Austin for 5 yeas, San Antonio for 8, Lubbock for 7 years and having frequently travelled to Dallas, Houston, and many of the small towns.

Not really true. If you look at Secunia the number of vulnerabilities is really not that different between the Sun years and Oracle's.
where this shit is cutting edge,
Party like it's 1999?

Thank you for what? Spreading bullshit? Concussions are a major issue in Rugby.
You're joking, right?
Concussion in Rugby is hidden epidemic
Concerns rise over rugby concussion risk
Concern at lack of rugby head injury reporting
Rugby players urged to donate their brains to help head-injury research
The saddest part is your bullshit got modded as interesting and insightful.
Yes, it was.
It's even the first sentence!

And then reality strikes when management says "NO" to these suggestions.
Wow could you not even be bothered to even read the first sentence of the summary?
A week ago, you read the other side of the same question.
Guess what? Yes, that was the question you linked.
I might as well use Windows.
So you'll go to the OS where the are more than a dozen alternate desktop shells to choose from?
You didn't get any copies of Custer's Revenge?

You mean half a day, right?
Civil rights? Over a voluntary RFID badge? Hyperbole much?

They aren't. AC posts always start at 0. Welcome to Slashdot.

So truue. All those papers you cited made for quite the convincing case.
Most likely not. Saying that GMO is not evil is not the same as condoning Monsanto's actions in court. Strawman much?
A strawman is also a fallacy. That wasn't what the person you responded to either said or implied.
